Glad this pretentious site is closed. Run by a bunch of self seeking idiots.

I am sorry........this is not an instrument. It is the pipes of and organ. Something that emits a sound produced by an instrument. It is similar to an electric guitar analogy. A GUITAR - is an instrument. Electrified or not. Acoustically it must be PLAYED and the sound resonates from the hollow body of the wood. Electrically - it also MUST BE PLAYED in order to emit a sound - you PLAY an instrument - or use it to produce musical tones - such as the human voice. It is considered an instrument because it must be played ( = muscles exercised ) to produce harmonic tones.

But you can not put a picture of a microphone up and call THAT an instrument. It is used to AMPLIFY the vocal chords - or INSTRUMENT - to produce audible signals. Nor could you put a picture of a PA speaker up and call THAT an instrument. That is used to reproduce the tones electrically signaled by the MICROPHONE that is amplifying the vocal chords or INSTRUMENT.
Similarly, you could not put a picture of a MARSHALL STACK (electric guitar AMPLIFIER - a speaker in which an electric guitar must be plugged in to in order to produce musical tones that are audible) - you can NOT put a picture of an amp up and call THAT an instrument.


Likewise, this photo should have been removed due to the fact it is NOT an instrument - but merely metal tubes that are used to amplify the tones produced by a musical instrument - in this case an ORGAN - which is NOT pictured and probably normally placed below the wooden enclosure housing the PIPES or AMPLIFIERS.

I only chimed in because the all knowing mods removed an entry of a SINGER from a MUSICIAN contest claiming a singer ISN'T a MUSICIAN. Singers ARE musicians - the mods are idiots.
And they removed a CONFECTIONERY HOUSE from a CONFECTIONERY contest claiming it wasn't "their opinion" of a confection, more like a small doughnut (which is NOT a confectionery but considered a BAKED GOOD - even though it is fried.) You buy doughnuts and PASTRIES at a BAKERY - and candy and other confections at a CANDY SHOP - or CONFECTIONERY STORE.

Again.......idiots.

great!!

Thanks. I'll miss your great photos.

I know that postbox, nice work.

Post a screenshot of the EXIF data in the SBS to show your shot was made in 2013.

Definitely a crowd

Very pretty building

ohh, that's a lovely photo!

Nice!

wonderful

That is indeed one stunning piece of instrumentation there. Wouldn't it be cool if a heavy metal band rolled one of these monsters out on stage and started whaling away on it ?? Good pic, author.

Lovely. The kids are so unnaturally natural...or is it the other way round?

That little girl looks excited.

Nice looking group of kids.

Cute kids. They're the same everywhere.

I agreed about sharpened blue like over, but pic is really good and natural

Now, in my humble opinion, this is one HECKAVA capture here. I absolutely love the blue colors, the baggy jeans on the boy, his shoes askew like kids are prone to do, the girl trying to get the model thing going, the peeling paint on wall, etc. High score from me and good luck, author.

The replacement is absolutely delightful

I'm not sure it the image is over sharpened, or if it's an HDR that has not aligned properly, but there is something not quite right.

The contest suggestion included the comment that blacks & whites were not considered colors. The contest example, as you will find out in good time, may not necessarily be 100% representative of the contest goals. It's meant to be a rough guide.

are...are you, God? ... [guess I'll save my jug playing shot for a more hillbilly theme... Holy WOW sums it up nicely]

What!!!! No Beatles????

Pavarotti is odd too..... its upside down.

Good one

Should have stuck one of the Sex Pistols in the middle

Hey Charlie Parker... great jazz...

Beautifully done

Holly $#!+ !!!
Was that under your bed??????
Great job Author.

WOW, I'm sure this is not what the author of the theme had in mind. Love it, a wonderful take on the theme and a great photo.

Great photo, wonderful detail and light.

An awesome entry!
A very good eye here and absolutely on theme.
Congrats on 2nd place.

Nice shot

GREAT shot... but really more about the birds than the bird house

Surprised this one didn't place better, but then I'm often surprised. There is something very special about this, I could see it as a book cover.

Awesome, take me away from this place lol.

very pretty

Maybe try I Doser > http://www.i-doser.com/?gclid=COXqr4PzgbsCFYs-MgodLVYA3g < mixed with some Winamp vizs, kyricom...

Lovely

COOL! I want to go!

ok, cool. (but what is it a picture of - REALLY?)

ummmmmm... ok. What the &%#$ is a Galactic Sensitizing Module?

Where/what is that?

great find
